Instagram links don’t seem to be working but just in case it “unbreaks,” here it is —

Maya Moore

View attachment 49505

Well deserved. Obvious pick on all accounts IMO:
2X College POY
1 NCAA title
1 WNBA MVP
1 WNBA ROY
A lot of All Stars and All-WNBA awards
4 WNBA Titles
6 WNBA Final Appearances in 8 seasons
2 Olympic Gold Medals

Stewart would probably be my #2 option.

No one can reasonably argue about the choice of Maya. But the name of Super Woman should be included in the conversation somewhere.

I guess this proves Anna is special

 

[MainefanSC]

Not only fitting for her athletic and BB skills, she is an example of human being extraordinaire. (Is that a word)

2 NCAA titles.

Aren’t they just listing the stuff from this decade?

College board: Breanna Stewart!

 

[Waquoit]

Stewie took over WNBA in just her 3rd year after 4 college titles. Tough to look past her.

Also, as much as Maya is deserving, she took the last year + off so really only played basketball for 9 or so years of the decade. I guess it's saying something that she's viewed that favorably with only 9 years of stats under her belt.

If you had to pick an all decade team of 10 players, I'm betting at least 5 would be former UCONN players...

Should we erect a statue on campus like USCe did for What's Her Name?

Absolutely agree---if there is an award for the nicest person of the Decade--I nominate Maya Moore.
She is an example for all Girls to follow: Successful in her endeavors (through hard work) and treats all as all should treat each other.

Um, Didn't the 21st Century begin in 2001? The first 10 numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Since there is no year zero isn't 2021 the first year of the decade?

I find that the people that want to make that argument are the ones that end up standing alone at the NYE party.

 

[bluedevil]

Centuries begin on the 1 and decades begin on the zero...exception for the leap decades of course

 

[Alydar]

Hey, if you guys want to be slaves to the media's definition it's OK with me.

 

[cbraarj]

Team of the last 2 decades: The Uconn Huskies!

 

[PoppaBear]

Honest question. Who is Womenshoopz? I can only find an Instagram and Twitter. No website? Am I missing it?

 

[Waquoit]

The "media", sheesh. I like this explanation: Decades are conventional concepts, and the conventional concept of a decade starts with the zero year. Saying the conventional concept is wrong is an oxymoron, since what makes conventional concepts conventional is convention.

Seriously? This means that centuries contain 9 full decades and 2 partial decades. Strange.

Well Maya took WNBA her first year winning titles 2011 2013 2015 and 2017. Her first 3 years in the W she went to the finals. So that’s 4 chips in her 9 years.

Interesting! Didn't the 21'st Century begin in 2000 if that is correct didn't the first decade end in 2019?
My father who was born at the end of a year ending in Zero. I never got his age right. Zero's are confusing!!!

The question is : Where was THAT convention held? You can't be conventional without a Convention, can you?? How much Oxy does a moron need to be wrong? Did they Conceive that concept in a Conception Convention?

There should be two awards, for college and the pros. Breanna and Maya would be the best choices.
